Default what micron filter? walbro 255 in tank

I am looking for an inline fuel filter for my car. I am looking at the aeromotive -10 inline and I don't know which one to go with 10 40 100? my setup is a walbro 255 in tank then i have a hardline adapter by the subframe to -6 ss line. I searched and found that 10 filters better but the 100 flows more. Also alot of people are running external pumps and two filters so I couldn't really find an answer. Any help is appreciated

10 micron.

here's why:
the inlet screens on OEM injectors are 7 or 8 micron.

So, if you installed a 100 micron filter, the injector screens are going to trap every particle between 8 and 100 microns. That's a lot of potential for particles to clog your injectors.

With a 10 micron filter installed, the injector screens are only going to trap particles between 7 and 10 microns (and will take a lot longer to potentially clog).

I have a set of rc 330 cc injectors when I went to use my oem screens they didnt fit. I dont know it theres are built it? so either way i should be good for a 10 micron?

10 micron.
Any particle smaller than 10 microns will flow right through your injector.
